00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:06.279
PAX East 2017 unfortunately for the

00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:10.800
attendees is over and with it comes the end of the Intel extreme rig challenge

00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:16.520
all of the contestants have completed their seventh generation core i7

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:18.279
processor and 600p SSD powered computers

00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:22.680
if you haven't seen the leadup videos for this project you can start with

00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:28.080
episode one right up here but now we have the final Awards and spoils the

00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:35.920
seven teams that made it out of 12 include Ava direct or PC iby power main

00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:38.360
gear cyber power PC zyx and

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:44.559
NC and they were competing in four different categories most creative best

00:00:41.559 --> 00:00:46.920
engineered highest performance and most

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:51.360
appeasing to you also known as Community Choice the first category to be decided

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:58.000
was most creative and the top three system builders in this category were

00:00:53.359 --> 00:01:00.239
zyx NC PC and cyber power cyber power

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:04.720
went for a really unique look and they accomplished this by utilizing copper

00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:10.159
piping and using a deframe chassis from inwind which is really rare and helped

00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:14.560
make a pipe frame style aesthetic they also use copper and orange as their main

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:18.920
colors which are not very common and really help them Stand Out zidax went

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:23.079
with this really cool looking monochrome water cooling setup with one Loop being

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:27.560
set up with black liquid and another loop being set up with white liquid and

00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:33.399
then contrasted that monochrome with possibly the most RGB enabled fan hands

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.240
I have ever seen in a single case and

00:01:33.399 --> 00:01:39.640
three individual lighting controllers that were accessible from outside of the

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:45.880
case to control all of those freaking fans NC inspired by ASUS's Gladius and

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:50.840
spatha mice went with an impeccably detailed engraving throughout their

00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:53.560
entire system and fully utiliz thermales

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:58.600
RGB water cooling fittings with white pastel liquid cooling to great effect

00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:03.360
and it really made their system pop when the dust was set and all the votes were

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:10.679
finally cast The Grand winner of the most creative category was cyber power

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:13.000
PC with zidax and NC tying for second

00:02:10.679 --> 00:02:20.120
next up was best engineered and the top three systems voted in by the judges

00:02:15.239 --> 00:02:22.160
were ncx zidax and Ava direct now we

00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:28.200
just took a look at zida and NCI so we're going to go directly to Ava direct

00:02:25.239 --> 00:02:32.560
and clean and pristine must have been the marching orders at Ava when they

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:37.800
were designing this system from the color palette to the aluminium cable

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:44.080
Combs chosen just to perfectly manage all of their cables to the water cooling

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:46.560
setup in general it comes together in a

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:52.959
computer that is just refreshing to look at but in the end when all was said and

00:02:49.239 --> 00:02:55.360
done NC took first place with Ava direct

00:02:52.959 --> 00:03:00.760
coming in right behind them and zyx pulling a solid third then we come to a

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:05.200
category with no judges no Community judges no judge panel this is

00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:10.959
performance you have to win with a score in this one and the top three systems

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:14.519
were Ava direct zidax for a third

00:03:10.959 --> 00:03:16.720
freaking time and iby power iby power

00:03:14.519 --> 00:03:21.200
system was the legendary snow blind which we've actually featured on our

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:23.000
Channel twice in the past it features an

00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:26.840
awesome side panel which is a translucent monitor which you can do

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:29.959
with pretty much whatever you want you can do anything that you would do on a

00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:33.200
normal monitor over there but it's recommended that you run a rain meter

00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:38.599
setup which will show all your system settings which is actually pretty badass

00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:43.840
inside that side panel you see an extremely white overall aesthetic with

00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:48.560
very intense LEDs because they have to generate a lot of light and bounce a lot

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:54.840
of light around in order to have it come through that translucent side panel but

00:03:52.159 --> 00:04:00.560
when the numbers came in for performance Ava direct claimed a strong first place

00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:05.519
with zidax and iby Power claiming second and third respectively which leaves us

00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:11.840
with the grand prize the Community Choice Awards there was

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:15.040
12644 votes cast against the 12 original

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:19.479
teams that were entered in this contest

00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:22.160
but above all others was origin PC and I

00:04:19.479 --> 00:04:26.040
get it their computer or computers should I say at this point are epic to

00:04:24.840 --> 00:04:32.360
explain what I mean by that they're running two individual VR ready systems

00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:34.320
within the same electric blue chassis

00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:39.600
each system is revealed through its own translucent monitor on its own side

00:04:37.039 --> 00:04:43.960
panel talk about using the budget I think origin really went with the two

00:04:41.400 --> 00:04:48.320
computers for the price of Awesome on this one if you want to play VR games

00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:53.960
with a friend or spouse at home look no further this computer perfectly fits

00:04:50.919 --> 00:04:55.600
that albeit relatively small Niche and

00:04:53.960 --> 00:05:00.800
with that the Intel extreme rig challenge of 2017 is concluded thank you

00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:06.240
to all the system builders for participating win or lose you guys all

00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:08.160
had spectacular systems thanks to Intel

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:12.360
for doing this again and letting me be a part of it and last but not least at all

00:05:10.280 --> 00:05:16.080
thanks to you guys for watching and commenting and voting let me know in the

00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:20.520
comments down below if you'd be interested in seeing Intel do this again

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:23.360
next year and with that I'll see you guys next time
